razze06 Posted February 3, 2011 Share Posted February 3, 2011 (edited) I've decided to sell my westone thunder 1A. It's one of the earlier ones, with the p-style split coil pickup. I seem to recall it's a 1983 vintage, but I can find out for sure. Body has been stripped and refinished in natural by the previous owner. Headstock survived in original black. All original hardware as far as I can tell, down to the thin switches and brass knobs. It even has a non-original brass pickup mask which I will include in the sale but is not actually bolted on (previous owner again). Active 18v circuit with a single boost knob. Active/passive switch. Lovely tone, and quite versatile. I have used it extensively for practicing and gigging up until a year ago. Pics prove it, but I can take closeups of the bass if you want me to. apologies for the face, can't refinish that... I'm thinking £130 + shipping, what do you think?

stingrayfan Posted February 7, 2011 Share Posted February 7, 2011 Great basses - still use mine for practice. First digit of serial number on back of headstock will tell you the year it was made. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

When I posted the topic I didn't have the bass handy, only the pic. It's a 1984 vintage. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Paul S Posted February 7, 2011 Share Posted February 7, 2011 +1 - huge fan here. The only thing lead about these is the weight - heavy things - but they are monster sounding basses and superbly built - difficult to know of better value for money IMO.

Heavy weighting and sounding, even though the active pre allows for some pretty interesting combinations. Actually, I'll come clean: I want to sell this to get a similar one, but in natural finish with the skunk stripes and all... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
